Put up a line or two from a song for people to guess.

For example:

MC Hammer?

Someone like that, I’d say!

I had no illusions
That I’d ever find
a glimpse of summer heatwaves
In your eyes

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

I'm glad you're home
Now did you really miss me?
I guess you did by the look in your eye
